B was one of Amazing Radio’s ‘Tips for 2025’
“Alternative hip-hop artist B of Briz is a name you won’t forget in 2025. Hailing from the vibrant musical scene of Bristol, UK, she’s already building a legacy as one of the most thought-provoking and boundary-pushing artists in the game.”
B won first prize in the Future Sound of Bristol Competition in 2023
BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson chose B’s debut single ‘What would Buffy do?’ as one of his top tracks of the year, including it on his Introducing Mixtape of 2022
Tom also recommended B in an interview with Pop Justice in 2023

"Her beats on that track could almost be an electronic homage to Tom Waits, but the erudite lyrics and dispassionate delivery are 100 percent her own"
FRESH ON THE NET
B’s tracks have been selected by listeners as a Fresh Faves a few times now. Here’s what the reviewers had to say…
‘Profoundly sick society' - Fresh Faves 578
"[B] speaks with authority and it fits so well over the electronic glitching drum beat, the bassline has a pitch bend on it, and it draws you back to the centre of the track as it’s it’s hypnotic.”
Del Osei-Owusu, Fresh on the Net
‘Ruminant Julius Caesar' - Fresh Faves 542
"Bristolian hip hop powerhouse B of Briz has been a Fresh Faves regular from her very first release, and the piercingly intelligent Ruminant Julius Caesar shows us exactly why. Over winding jazz piano and puttering drums, the track both celebrates the scientific method and condemns the patriarchal culture that warps it – why aren’t there more songs like this?”
Poppy Bristow, Fresh on the Net
"Let Yourself Cry begins with a quiet wordless chant, a single synth tone and a slow crunching beat before the rap vocal takes centre stage... Lines like ‘Nights when you saw the storm outside and shook with fear/Nights when you wish you could dissolve in your own tears’ really get past your emotional guard. This is biting and sparse but it is beautiful too and the little piano figure that repeats through much of the track adds a sweet sensibility to a touching lyric."
Neil March, Fresh on the Net
'Let Yourself Cry' - Fresh Faves 532
'Containing it' - Fresh Faves 485
"The undercurrent of crisp beat and bright synths provide a spacious, translucent canvas for B of Briz’s thoughtful commentary on the world around her, both human-made and natural, and how she relates to it. Shades of Akala and Kae Tempest for sure, but she has very much her own style as this exciting track demonstrates."
Neil March, Fresh on the Net
'Nineties Girl' - Fresh Faves 460
“B of Briz is a Bristol based rapper and producer who delivers “philosophically inclined rap to you from the future for all womankind and our allies to enjoy with our ears, minds and bodies.” She has teamed up on Nineties Girl with Memphis, Tennesee-based vocalist Rachel Maxann.
Nineties Girl gives me all the nostalgic feels because I was one! It’s a homage to the likes of Neneh Cherry, Alanis Morissette and Sophie B Hawkins, to name just a few, and our connection to women in music. B of Briz says: “It’s about having the world at your feet, and not being ready, physically or emotionally to step out into it but wanting to anyway.”
It’s a clever track and Rachel brings an earthiness and warmth to it that makes it all the more endearing. Sublime stuff.”

'What Would Buffy do?' - Fresh Faves 451
"Straight out of the box, this is my track of the week....Brilliant track thanks for allowing me to relive my misspent youth" -
Del Osei-Owusu, Fresh on the Net
‘Nineties Girl’
Up to Hear Music -John Michie
“'Nineties Girl' is unquestionably another magnificent and assured demonstration of brilliance from B of Briz. This tune features some beautiful vocal riffs. Throughout the entirety of the song, the lyrics' progression holds the musical pieces together, utilizing some excellent 1990s references, some of which we probably loved, but had forgotten. B of Britz truly is an expert at using words to tie a sparse arrangement together.”
"An Encyclopedia of Patriarchy (incomplete) is a candid and creative challenge to societal norms. To say it’s well worth the time is an understatement. With her mix of humour, insight, and creative beats, An Encyclopedia of Patriarchy (incomplete) and B of Briz are set to make waves. Both are breaking down walls and demanding attention.”
Amplify the Noise - album review
‘Solace’
Babystep Magazine
“Fresh off the release of 2024’s acclaimed An Encyclopedia of Patriarchy (incomplete) and crowned winner of the Future Sound of Bristol, B returns not just to push sonic boundaries but to offer something deeper: comfort, resistance, and connection in a world that feels increasingly fragmented...”
‘Profoundly sick society’
Joyzine -Paul F Cook
“The laid-back delivery belies the strength of the words, in the same way that gold is malleable but tough. B of Briz brings us poetry, polemic and perspicacity.”
‘Profoundly sick society’
Shouts - Music from the Rooftops!
“With a PhD in philosophy and a passion for feminism and social justice, there’s no doubt her music will connect people and offer hope in these times of division.”
‘The founding of the town’
Listen with Monger
“B Of Briz's voice is calm and assured as she delivers the idea of being mayor of your own body as you develop and grow but never gentrify yourself. A true artist at work.”

Features and interviews
ASBO Magazine - Q & A
"As our conversation wrapped up, it became clear that B of Briz is more than just a musician, despite her protestations. She’s a thinker, commentator, provocateur, and perhaps most importantly, a voice for those grappling with the complexities of modern society.
In a time when voices like hers are more crucial than ever, B of Briz stands as a reminder that music can be a powerful tool for change. Whether dissecting the roots of misogyny, critiquing the rhetoric of online debate, or simply sharing her unique perspective on the world, B invites us all to think deeper and engage more meaningfully. As she prepares to take the next step in her career, one thing is certain: B of Briz is an artist who won’t be ignored, and her message is one we can’t afford to miss.”
Some Other Time - Feature by Jordan Corrigan
No Frills Review - Q & A by Kev
"Embracing the city's eclecticism, B's music is full of unexpected contrasts, with hooks and earworms hiding in the most surprising places. Her beats manage to be bold, multilayered, and minimal simultaneously, delicately woven together like an intricate quilt of unconstrained influences....
Rhythmically angular and weighty but dreamy and ethereal, B of Briz released her seven-track EP, Forty-Two, last year. Her lyrics are sharply philosophical, delivered with palliative ease, making for a remarkably polished and self-assured debut. Even more so considering that she only started writing and recording a few years ago."
